Game Of Thrones (tv series) ongoing discussion thread (WITH TRAILER)

[Loktar]

They weren't as complicated a story and the tv versions changed a lot from the books whereas Game Of Thrones will be following them almost exactly HUH HUH UH HUH.

I think Game of Thrones will be more enjoyable because I didn't read the books. I won't know what I'm missing or not missing.

 

[Cassie]

That's true, it's one of the reasons I don't like Dune adaptations, I can always tell when they get it WRONG. Fortunately I've only read Game of Thrones once and a long time ago, so I probably won't notice any variations.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well I don't mind if they change stuff since obviously they'll have to because it's a tv show not a book. If they have Ned riding a tank and turn Tyrion into a robot then I'll complain.

 

[Cock]

I'm gonna pee my pantses!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Should we start a new thread for new discussion of the show after the first episode for new people to post new thoughts? Or a new thread for EVERY EPISODE like someone (Tisi?) posted for True Blood last year? Or something!?

 

[Tisiphone]

Hey! LoL.

 

[Cassie]

YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN!

I don't care, as long as we're all SQUEEING together.

GRRM comments on the stupid NYT review http://grrm.livejournal.com/210874.html

 

[Cock]

I momentarily wished that I was a girl so that I could be justifiably outraged by that review.

it has passed.

 

[Cassie]

ALSO, so you could have a pair of MASSIVE TITS.

 

[Cassie]

OH, nice article on Salon REFUDIATING the crappy Slate and NYT reviews. Slate, New York Times to fantasy buffs: Grow up - Game of Thrones - Salon.com

 

[CaptainWacky]

Hot fantasy loving girls are hot!

 

[Tisiphone]

Luckily I'm already equipped with the massive tits, so I can be outraged for all of us.

And did I miss the NYT review?

 

[Tisiphone]

Ok, found the NYT review. Person can go suck a fuck.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'll start a new thread for the first episode and if there's enough discussion I'll start a new one ever week okay.

 

[Cassie]

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. Mo Ryan did an email interview with GRRM where they discussed Lost, and BSG, and Babylon 5 and even The Gilmore Girls.. specifically their endings and how some shows don't have good endings, and some shows didn't need good endings, and STUFF.. anyway, good article.

Best Thing About 'Game of Thrones'? The Way Peter Dinklage Says 'Bastard'

By John Sellers
Published: May 02, 2011 @ 10:10 am

HBO's "Game of Thrones" adaptation has become a major hit due to its twisted storylines and mind-bending cliffhangers. But a not insignificant chunk of its success can be chalked up to the sterling performance put in each week by Peter Dinklage.

Despite his diminutive stature, the actor towers above his fellow castmates as Tyrion Lannister, partly due to Dinklage's knack for enunciating his lines with a puckish glee befitting a character nicknamed "The Imp."

Our favorite weapon in Dinklage's arsenal so far? The way he utters the word "bastard," something he does with shocking abandon.

We're not sure if the man pronounces "bastard" in the clipped, faux British way he does because he was directed to do so or if it's because he says it that way in real life. All we care is that he continues to make Jon Snow's life miserable by doing so.

There's also an embedded video on the page with examples.

 

[Cassie]

It's FITTING that Peter Dinklage is the stand out actor since Tyrion is the stand out character. I can't wait to see how some of the later battle scenes play out. The Imp is also a bad ass.

 

[CaptainWacky]

He does say "bastard" a lot.

 

[Tisiphone]

I've had a crush on Peter Dinklage since The Station Agent, so it's nice to see him in the spotlight again.

Combined with the 11 p.m. airing, the show climbed to 3.1 million viewers, well above the previous benchmark of 2.9 million. Meanwhile Thrones premiere episode has climbed up to 8.7 million viewers via all the HBO platforms. Needless to say, this is exactly what HBO was hoping to see.
